@volklub @volklub Quick update after 1 week: No one from @volkswagenindia has spoken with me. And to top that, I have received the following email from the service center today. So, VW India just forwarded the complaint to the service center against whom I complained. Genius! https://t.co/yxBylJPqo0

... As @volklub has said time & again, just selling the car isn't enough. Service matters! I was one of the earliest buyers of the 1.5 GT+ in '22 when it was hard to get hands on one due to the chip shortage. Now I regret my call. All proof of this episode available on request.
